Suicide is an appropriate exit strategy in this situation.
If you just committed a string of felonies simultaneously
and you do NOT want to to spend the next coupla decades atoning for your misdeeds in various courts and jails and prisons,
then YES.
Kill self.
Better than spending those bullets on cops and hostages. How dare he force somebody to drive him at gunpoint. Drive yourSELF, fool!
(But the cops are reluctant to shoot soemtimes if innocent victims/hostages are around. The decision to take a hostage may have been strategic on the car jacker's part. What's one more felony charge for kidnapping when you're facing a half dozen felony charges already AND you have a suicide bullet on reserve?)

So what have we learned? >_>
We have learned that
Fox News has a safety phrase to trigger censorship: "get off it."
During the 5 second delay (when the censor man is on smoke break),
that fuggin' safety phrase and $2 will get you a bus pass...but no transfer.
